This will allow the check out of library books. However, you will have to reset the time and date if you power completely down or do a reset of the device.

I know. The settime utility didn't work out for me (see my original post). I doubt it would work on devices with April 2009 firmware from EZ Reader since the error message simply said "Can't support to read DRM books", not a message refers to time expired or date error.

Right, I was only responding to griffonwing for his suggestion to contact Astak to report mobi DRM issue. I am holding off updating firmware on my device to trying for ADE first. Thanks as always!
